JEP proposed to target JDK 20: 436: Virtual Threads (Second Preview)

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 20:

  436: Virtual Threads (Second Preview)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/436

  Summary: Introduce virtual threads to the Java Platform.  Virtual
  threads are lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort
  of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent
  applications.  This is a preview API.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Tuesday, 6 December, or if they’re raised
and then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal
[2] I’ll target this JEP to JDK 20.
